Condolences
Joanne and family, we all want to offer our condolences to you all. Betty, was a very special lady and I remember the many chats we had when she would call into the shop or stop by. We really appreciate all the things she did for us, ex. the christmas letters from Santa that she took care of for Kiana and Jason and the things she did for Kiana after her accident. Of course I can't not mention the times she made sure I got some of awesome potato salad.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. God Bless
Troy, Erin, Kiana, and Jason Brown
